Chapter 86 Nicholas

• My office was now a makeshift refuge since my house felt weird without Nicole's presence. I felt void and empty as each day went by without her. Seven agonizing days had passed since Nicole's absence, leaving me with the echoes of her presence. And drowning myself in alcohol was the only thing keeping me on the edge of sanity.
• Everyone acts like they are busy looking for Nicole, but it doesn't seem like that. Their efforts felt hollow, lacking the urgency that gnawed at me.
• We all know that Lucas has her, but where is he keeping her? What does he want with her? What does he want from her? And why was he quiet about his plan? Lucas was driving me nuts with his silence.
